Antique 1850 Hand Woven Overshot Red and Cream Reversible Coverlet

Presenting a remarkable antique reversible Jacquard woven coverlet, a stunning piece of textile history proudly bearing the woven date of 1850 in its corner blocks. Crafted in a graphic two-tone palette of deep crimson red and natural cream, this traditional center-seamed textile (woven in two panel and hand stitched together) features a rich array of classic Americana motifs. The elaborate design includes prominent eagles with banners, charming churches or meetinghouses, stylized deer, birds, and intricate foliate scrollwork. This piece wears its 170-plus years of history openly, presented in a beautifully worn and distressed antique condition. With frayed edges, visible thinning, and scattered small holes, this delicate textile is no longer suitable for daily use or prolonged wear. However, it serves as an exceptional foundational display piece. Whether artfully draped over a quilt ladder in a rustic Farmhouse setting, carefully folded inside a glass display cabinet, or utilized as a textural, historic backdrop for a Moody Vintage or Dark Academia vignette, its authentic character and striking reversible pattern remain a captivating focal point.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

PHOTOGRAPHY
All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
